4 The main configuration file for StatusNet (excepting configurations for
5 dependency software) is config.php in your StatusNet directory. If you
6 edit any other file in the directory, like lib/default.php (where most
7 of the defaults are defined), you will lose your configuration options
8 in any upgrade, and you will wish that you had been more careful.
10 Starting with version 0.9.0, a Web based configuration panel has been
11 added to StatusNet. The preferred method for changing config options is
14 A command-line script, setconfig.php, can be used to set individual
15 configuration options. It's in the scripts/ directory.
17 Starting with version 0.7.1, you can put config files in the
18 /etc/statusnet/ directory on your server, if it exists. Config files
19 will be included in this order:
21 * /etc/statusnet/statusnet.php - server-wide config
22 * /etc/statusnet/<servername>.php - for a virtual host
23 * /etc/statusnet/<servername>_<pathname>.php - for a path
24 * INSTALLDIR/config.php - for a particular implementation
26 Almost all configuration options are made through a two-dimensional
27 associative array, cleverly named $config. A typical configuration
30 $config['section']['option'] = value;
32 For brevity, the following documentation describes each section and
38 This section is a catch-all for site-wide variables.
40 name: the name of your site, like 'YourCompany Microblog'.
41 server: the server part of your site's URLs, like 'example.net'.
42 path: The path part of your site's URLs, like 'statusnet' or ''
44 fancy: whether or not your site uses fancy URLs (see Fancy URLs
45 section above). Default is false.
46 logfile: full path to a file for StatusNet to save logging
47 information to. You may want to use this if you don't have
49 logdebug: whether to log additional debug info like backtraces on
50 hard errors. Default false.
51 locale_path: full path to the directory for locale data. Unless you
52 store all your locale data in one place, you probably
53 don't need to use this.
54 language: default language for your site. Defaults to US English.
55 Note that this is overridden if a user is logged in and has
56 selected a different language. It is also overridden if the
57 user is NOT logged in, but their browser requests a different
58 langauge. Since pretty much everybody's browser requests a
59 language, that means that changing this setting has little or
60 no effect in practice.
61 languages: A list of languages supported on your site. Typically you'd
62 only change this if you wanted to disable support for one
64 "unset($config['site']['languages']['de'])" will disable
66 theme: Theme for your site (see Theme section). Two themes are
67 provided by default: 'default' and 'stoica' (the one used by
68 Identi.ca). It's appreciated if you don't use the 'stoica' theme
69 except as the basis for your own.
70 email: contact email address for your site. By default, it's extracted
71 from your Web server environment; you may want to customize it.
72 broughtbyurl: name of an organization or individual who provides the
73 service. Each page will include a link to this name in the
74 footer. A good way to link to the blog, forum, wiki,
75 corporate portal, or whoever is making the service available.
76 broughtby: text used for the "brought by" link.
77 timezone: default timezone for message display. Users can set their
78 own time zone. Defaults to 'UTC', which is a pretty good default.
79 closed: If set to 'true', will disallow registration on your site.
80 This is a cheap way to restrict accounts to only one
81 individual or group; just register the accounts you want on
82 the service, *then* set this variable to 'true'.
83 inviteonly: If set to 'true', will only allow registration if the user
84 was invited by an existing user.
85 private: If set to 'true', anonymous users will be redirected to the
86 'login' page. Also, API methods that normally require no
87 authentication will require it. Note that this does not turn
88 off registration; use 'closed' or 'inviteonly' for the
90 notice: A plain string that will appear on every page. A good place
91 to put introductory information about your service, or info about
92 upgrades and outages, or other community info. Any HTML will
94 logo: URL of an image file to use as the logo for the site. Overrides
95 the logo in the theme, if any.
96 ssllogo: URL of an image file to use as the logo on SSL pages. If unset,
97 theme logo is used instead.
98 ssl: Whether to use SSL and https:// URLs for some or all pages.
99 Possible values are 'always' (use it for all pages), 'never'
100 (don't use it for any pages), or 'sometimes' (use it for
101 sensitive pages that include passwords like login and registration,
102 but not for regular pages). Default to 'never'.
103 sslserver: use an alternate server name for SSL URLs, like
104 'secure.example.org'. You should be careful to set cookie
105 parameters correctly so that both the SSL server and the
106 "normal" server can access the session cookie and
107 preferably other cookies as well.
108 shorturllength: ignored. See 'url' section below.
109 dupelimit: minimum time allowed for one person to say the same thing
110 twice. Default 60s. Anything lower is considered a user
112 textlimit: default max size for texts in the site. Defaults to 0 (no limit).
113 Can be fine-tuned for notices, messages, profile bios and group descriptions.
118 This section is a reference to the configuration options for
119 DB_DataObject (see <http://ur1.ca/7xp>). The ones that you may want to
120 set are listed below for clarity.
122 database: a DSN (Data Source Name) for your StatusNet database. This is
123 in the format 'protocol://username:password@hostname/databasename',
124 where 'protocol' is 'mysql' or 'mysqli' (or possibly 'postgresql', if you
125 really know what you're doing), 'username' is the username,
126 'password' is the password, and etc.
127 ini_yourdbname: if your database is not named 'statusnet', you'll need
128 to set this to point to the location of the
129 statusnet.ini file. Note that the real name of your database
130 should go in there, not literally 'yourdbname'.
131 db_driver: You can try changing this to 'MDB2' to use the other driver
132 type for DB_DataObject, but note that it breaks the OpenID
133 libraries, which only support PEAR::DB.
134 debug: On a database error, you may get a message saying to set this
135 value to 5 to see debug messages in the browser. This breaks
136 just about all pages, and will also expose the username and
138 quote_identifiers: Set this to true if you're using postgresql.
139 type: either 'mysql' or 'postgresql' (used for some bits of
140 database-type-specific SQL in the code). Defaults to mysql.
141 mirror: you can set this to an array of DSNs, like the above
142 'database' value. If it's set, certain read-only actions will
143 use a random value out of this array for the database, rather
144 than the one in 'database' (actually, 'database' is overwritten).
145 You can offload a busy DB server by setting up MySQL replication
146 and adding the slaves to this array. Note that if you want some
147 requests to go to the 'database' (master) server, you'll need
148 to include it in this array, too.
149 utf8: whether to talk to the database in UTF-8 mode. This is the default
150 with new installations, but older sites may want to turn it off
151 until they get their databases fixed up. See "UTF-8 database"
153 schemacheck: when to let plugins check the database schema to add
154 tables or update them. Values can be 'runtime' (default)
155 or 'script'. 'runtime' can be costly (plugins check the
156 schema on every hit, adding potentially several db
157 queries, some quite long), but not everyone knows how to
158 run a script. If you can, set this to 'script' and run
159 scripts/checkschema.php whenever you install or upgrade a
165 By default, StatusNet sites log error messages to the syslog facility.
166 (You can override this using the 'logfile' parameter described above).
168 appname: The name that StatusNet uses to log messages. By default it's
169 "statusnet", but if you have more than one installation on the
170 server, you may want to change the name for each instance so
171 you can track log messages more easily.
172 priority: level to log at. Currently ignored.
173 facility: what syslog facility to used. Defaults to LOG_USER, only
174 reset if you know what syslog is and have a good reason
180 You can configure the software to queue time-consuming tasks, like
181 sending out SMS email or XMPP messages, for off-line processing. See
182 'Queues and daemons' above for how to set this up.
184 enabled: Whether to uses queues. Defaults to false.
185 daemon: Wather to use queuedaemon. Defaults to false, which means
186 you'll use OpportunisticQM plugin.
187 subsystem: Which kind of queueserver to use. Values include "db" for
188 our hacked-together database queuing (no other server
189 required) and "stomp" for a stomp server.
190 stomp_server: "broker URI" for stomp server. Something like
191 "tcp://hostname:61613". More complicated ones are
192 possible; see your stomp server's documentation for
194 queue_basename: a root name to use for queues (stomp only). Typically
195 something like '/queue/sitename/' makes sense. If running
196 multiple instances on the same server, make sure that
197 either this setting or $config['site']['nickname'] are
198 unique for each site to keep them separate.
200 stomp_username: username for connecting to the stomp server; defaults
202 stomp_password: password for connecting to the stomp server; defaults
205 stomp_persistent: keep items across queue server restart, if enabled.
206 Under ActiveMQ, the server configuration determines if and how
207 persistent storage is actually saved.
209 If using a message queue server other than ActiveMQ, you may
210 need to disable this if it does not support persistence.
212 stomp_transactions: use transactions to aid in error detection.
213 A broken transaction will be seen quickly, allowing a message
214 to be redelivered immediately if a daemon crashes.
216 If using a message queue server other than ActiveMQ, you may
217 need to disable this if it does not support transactions.
219 stomp_acks: send acknowledgements to aid in flow control.
220 An acknowledgement of successful processing tells the server
221 we're ready for more and can help keep things moving smoothly.
223 This should *not* be turned off when running with ActiveMQ, but
224 if using another message queue server that does not support
225 acknowledgements you might need to disable this.
227 softlimit: an absolute or relative "soft memory limit"; daemons will
228 restart themselves gracefully when they find they've hit
229 this amount of memory usage. Defaults to 90% of PHP's global
230 memory_limit setting.
232 inboxes: delivery of messages to receiver's inboxes can be delayed to
233 queue time for best interactive performance on the sender.
234 This may however be annoyingly slow when using the DB queues,
235 so you can set this to false if it's causing trouble.
237 breakout: for stomp, individual queues are by default grouped up for
238 best scalability. If some need to be run by separate daemons,
239 etc they can be manually adjusted here.
241 Default will share all queues for all sites within each group.
242 Specify as <group>/<queue> or <group>/<queue>/<site>,
243 using nickname identifier as site.
245 'main/distrib' separate "distrib" queue covering all sites
246 'xmpp/xmppout/mysite' separate "xmppout" queue covering just 'mysite'
248 max_retries: for stomp, drop messages after N failed attempts to process.
251 dead_letter_dir: for stomp, optional directory to dump data on failed
252 queue processing events after discarding them.
254 stomp_no_transactions: for stomp, the server does not support transactions,
255 so do not try to user them. This is needed for http://www.morbidq.com/.
257 stomp_no_acks: for stomp, the server does not support acknowledgements.
258 so do not try to user them. This is needed for http://www.morbidq.com/.
263 The default license to use for your users notices. The default is the
264 Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license, which is probably the right
265 choice for any public site. Note that some other servers will not
266 accept notices if you apply a stricter license than this.
268 type: one of 'cc' (for Creative Commons licenses), 'allrightsreserved'
269 (default copyright), or 'private' (for private and confidential
271 owner: for 'allrightsreserved' or 'private', an assigned copyright
272 holder (for example, an employer for a private site). If
273 not specified, will be attributed to 'contributors'.
274 url: URL of the license, used for links.
275 title: Title for the license, like 'Creative Commons Attribution 3.0'.
276 image: A button shown on each page for the license.
281 This is for configuring out-going email. We use PEAR's Mail module,
282 see: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.factory.php
284 backend: the backend to use for mail, one of 'mail', 'sendmail', and
285 'smtp'. Defaults to PEAR's default, 'mail'.
286 params: if the mail backend requires any parameters, you can provide
287 them in an associative array.
292 This is for configuring nicknames in the service.
294 blacklist: an array of strings for usernames that may not be
295 registered. A default array exists for strings that are
296 used by StatusNet (e.g. 'doc', 'main', 'avatar', 'theme')
297 but you may want to add others if you have other software
298 installed in a subdirectory of StatusNet or if you just
299 don't want certain words used as usernames.
300 featured: an array of nicknames of 'featured' users of the site.
301 Can be useful to draw attention to well-known users, or
302 interesting people, or whatever.
307 For configuring avatar access.
309 dir: Directory to look for avatar files and to put them into.
310 Defaults to avatar subdirectory of install directory; if
311 you change it, make sure to change path, too.
312 path: Path to avatars. Defaults to path for avatar subdirectory,
313 but you can change it if you wish. Note that this will
314 be included with the avatar server, too.
315 server: If set, defines another server where avatars are stored in the
316 root directory. Note that the 'avatar' subdir still has to be
317 writeable. You'd typically use this to split HTTP requests on
318 the client to speed up page loading, either with another
319 virtual server or with an NFS or SAMBA share. Clients
320 typically only make 2 connections to a single server at a
321 time <http://ur1.ca/6ih>, so this can parallelize the job.
323 ssl: Whether to access avatars using HTTPS. Defaults to null, meaning
324 to guess based on site-wide SSL settings.
329 For configuring the public stream.
331 localonly: If set to true, only messages posted by users of this
332 service (rather than other services, filtered through OStatus)
333 are shown in the public stream. Default true.
334 blacklist: An array of IDs of users to hide from the public stream.
335 Useful if you have someone making excessive Twitterfeed posts
336 to the site, other kinds of automated posts, testing bots, etc.
337 autosource: Sources of notices that are from automatic posters, and thus
338 should be kept off the public timeline. Default empty.
343 server: Like avatars, you can speed up page loading by pointing the
344 theme file lookup to another server (virtual or real).
345 Defaults to NULL, meaning to use the site server.
346 dir: Directory where theme files are stored. Used to determine
347 whether to show parts of a theme file. Defaults to the theme
348 subdirectory of the install directory.
349 path: Path part of theme URLs, before the theme name. Relative to the
350 theme server. It may make sense to change this path when upgrading,
351 (using version numbers as the path) to make sure that all files are
352 reloaded by caching clients or proxies. Defaults to null,
353 which means to use the site path + '/theme'.
354 ssl: Whether to use SSL for theme elements. Default is null, which means
355 guess based on site SSL settings.
356 sslserver: SSL server to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted. If
357 unspecified, site ssl server and so on will be used.
358 sslpath: If sslserver if defined, path to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted.
363 server: You can speed up page loading by pointing the
364 theme file lookup to another server (virtual or real).
365 Defaults to NULL, meaning to use the site server.
366 path: Path part of Javascript URLs. Defaults to null,
367 which means to use the site path + '/js/'.
368 ssl: Whether to use SSL for JavaScript files. Default is null, which means
369 guess based on site SSL settings.
370 sslserver: SSL server to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted. If
371 unspecified, site ssl server and so on will be used.
372 sslpath: If sslserver if defined, path to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted.
373 bustframes: If true, all web pages will break out of framesets. If false,
374 can comfortably live in a frame or iframe... probably. Default
380 For configuring the XMPP sub-system.
382 enabled: Whether to accept and send messages by XMPP. Default false.
383 server: server part of XMPP ID for update user.
384 port: connection port for clients. Default 5222, which you probably
385 shouldn't need to change.
386 user: username for the client connection. Users will receive messages
387 from 'user'@'server'.
388 resource: a unique identifier for the connection to the server. This
389 is actually used as a prefix for each XMPP component in the system.
390 password: password for the user account.
391 host: some XMPP domains are served by machines with a different
392 hostname. (For example, @gmail.com GTalk users connect to
393 talk.google.com). Set this to the correct hostname if that's the
394 case with your server.
395 encryption: Whether to encrypt the connection between StatusNet and the
396 XMPP server. Defaults to true, but you can get
397 considerably better performance turning it off if you're
398 connecting to a server on the same machine or on a
400 debug: if turned on, this will make the XMPP library blurt out all of
401 the incoming and outgoing messages as XML stanzas. Use as a
402 last resort, and never turn it on if you don't have queues
403 enabled, since it will spit out sensitive data to the browser.
404 public: an array of JIDs to send _all_ notices to. This is useful for
405 participating in third-party search and archiving services.
410 For configuring invites.
412 enabled: Whether to allow users to send invites. Default true.
417 Miscellaneous tagging stuff.
419 dropoff: Decay factor for tag listing, in seconds.
420 Defaults to exponential decay over ten days; you can twiddle
421 with it to try and get better results for your site.
426 Settings for the "popular" section of the site.
428 dropoff: Decay factor for popularity listing, in seconds.
429 Defaults to exponential decay over ten days; you can twiddle
430 with it to try and get better results for your site.
435 For daemon processes.
437 piddir: directory that daemon processes should write their PID file
438 (process ID) to. Defaults to /var/run/, which is where this
439 stuff should usually go on Unix-ish systems.
440 user: If set, the daemons will try to change their effective user ID
441 to this user before running. Probably a good idea, especially if
442 you start the daemons as root. Note: user name, like 'daemon',
444 group: If set, the daemons will try to change their effective group ID
445 to this named group. Again, a name, not a numerical ID.
452 enabled: Whether to enable post-by-email. Defaults to true. You will
453 also need to set up maildaemon.php.
460 enabled: Whether to enable SMS integration. Defaults to true. Queues
461 should also be enabled.
466 A catch-all for integration with other systems.
468 taguri: base for tag:// URIs. Defaults to site-server + ',2009'.
475 enabled: No longer used. If you set this to something other than true,
476 StatusNet will no longer run.
481 For notice-posting throttles.
483 enabled: Whether to throttle posting. Defaults to false.
484 count: Each user can make this many posts in 'timespan' seconds. So, if count
485 is 100 and timespan is 3600, then there can be only 100 posts
486 from a user every hour.
487 timespan: see 'count'.
494 biolimit: max character length of bio; 0 means no limit; null means to use
495 the site text limit default.
496 backup: whether users can backup their own profiles. Defaults to true.
497 restore: whether users can restore their profiles from backup files. Defaults
499 delete: whether users can delete their own accounts. Defaults to false.
500 move: whether users can move their accounts to another server. Defaults
506 Options with new users.
508 default: nickname of a user account to automatically subscribe new
509 users to. Typically this would be system account for e.g.
510 service updates or announcements. Users are able to unsub
511 if they want. Default is null; no auto subscribe.
512 welcome: nickname of a user account that sends welcome messages to new
513 users. Can be the same as 'default' account, although on
514 busy servers it may be a good idea to keep that one just for
515 'urgent' messages. Default is null; no message.
517 If either of these special user accounts are specified, the users should
518 be created before the configuration is updated.
523 The software lets users upload files with their notices. You can configure
524 the types of accepted files by mime types and a trio of quota options:
525 per file, per user (total), per user per month.
527 We suggest the use of the pecl file_info extension to handle mime type
530 supported: an array of mime types you accept to store and distribute,
531 like 'image/gif', 'video/mpeg', 'audio/mpeg', etc. Make sure you
532 setup your server to properly recognize the types you want to
534 uploads: false to disable uploading files with notices (true by default).
536 For quotas, be sure you've set the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size
537 in php.ini to be large enough to handle your upload. In httpd.conf
538 (if you're using apache), check that the LimitRequestBody directive isn't
539 set too low (it's optional, so it may not be there at all).
541 process_links: follow redirects and save all available file information
542 (mimetype, date, size, oembed, etc.). Defaults to true.
543 file_quota: maximum size for a single file upload in bytes. A user can send
544 any amount of notices with attachments as long as each attachment
545 is smaller than file_quota.
546 user_quota: total size in bytes a user can store on this server. Each user
547 can store any number of files as long as their total size does
548 not exceed the user_quota.
549 monthly_quota: total size permitted in the current month. This is the total
550 size in bytes that a user can upload each month.
551 dir: directory accessible to the Web process where uploads should go.
552 Defaults to the 'file' subdirectory of the install directory, which
553 should be writeable by the Web user.
554 server: server name to use when creating URLs for uploaded files.
555 Defaults to null, meaning to use the default Web server. Using
556 a virtual server here can speed up Web performance.
557 path: URL path, relative to the server, to find files. Defaults to
558 main path + '/file/'.
559 ssl: whether to use HTTPS for file URLs. Defaults to null, meaning to
560 guess based on other SSL settings.
561 sslserver: if specified, this server will be used when creating HTTPS
562 URLs. Otherwise, the site SSL server will be used, with /file/ path.
563 sslpath: if this and the sslserver are specified, this path will be used
564 when creating HTTPS URLs. Otherwise, the attachments|path value
570 Options for group functionality.
572 maxaliases: maximum number of aliases a group can have. Default 3. Set
573 to 0 or less to prevent aliases in a group.
574 desclimit: maximum number of characters to allow in group descriptions.
575 null (default) means to use the site-wide text limits. 0
577 addtag: Whether to add a tag for the group nickname for every group post
578 (pre-1.0.x behaviour). Defaults to false.
583 Some stuff for search.
585 type: type of search. Ignored if PostgreSQL or Sphinx are enabled. Can either
586 be 'fulltext' or 'like' (default). The former is faster and more efficient
587 but requires the lame old MyISAM engine for MySQL. The latter
588 will work with InnoDB but could be miserably slow on large
589 systems. We'll probably add another type sometime in the future,
590 with our own indexing system (maybe like MediaWiki's).
597 handle: boolean. Whether we should register our own PHP session-handling
598 code (using the database and cache layers if enabled). Defaults to false.
599 Setting this to true makes some sense on large or multi-server
600 sites, but it probably won't hurt for smaller ones, either.
601 debug: whether to output debugging info for session storage. Can help
602 with weird session bugs, sometimes. Default false.
607 Users can upload backgrounds for their pages; this section defines
610 server: the server to use for background. Using a separate (even
611 virtual) server for this can speed up load times. Default is
612 null; same as site server.
613 dir: directory to write backgrounds too. Default is '/background/'
614 subdir of install dir.
615 path: path to backgrounds. Default is sub-path of install path; note
616 that you may need to change this if you change site-path too.
617 sslserver: SSL server to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted. If
618 unspecified, site ssl server and so on will be used.
619 sslpath: If sslserver if defined, path to use when page is HTTPS-encrypted.
624 Using the "XML-RPC Ping" method initiated by weblogs.com, the site can
625 notify third-party servers of updates.
627 notify: an array of URLs for ping endpoints. Default is the empty
628 array (no notification).
633 Default design (colors and background) for the site. Actual appearance
634 depends on the theme. Null values mean to use the theme defaults.
636 backgroundcolor: Hex color of the site background.
637 contentcolor: Hex color of the content area background.
638 sidebarcolor: Hex color of the sidebar background.
639 textcolor: Hex color of all non-link text.
640 linkcolor: Hex color of all links.
641 backgroundimage: Image to use for the background.
642 disposition: Flags for whether or not to tile the background image.
647 Configuration options specific to notices.
649 contentlimit: max length of the plain-text content of a notice.
650 Default is null, meaning to use the site-wide text limit.
652 defaultscope: default scope for notices. If null, the default
653 scope depends on site/private. It's 1 if the site is private,
654 0 otherwise. Set this value to override.
659 Configuration options specific to messages.
661 contentlimit: max length of the plain-text content of a message.
662 Default is null, meaning to use the site-wide text limit.
668 Configuration options for the login command.
670 disabled: whether to enable this command. If enabled, users who send
671 the text 'login' to the site through any channel will
672 receive a link to login to the site automatically in return.
673 Possibly useful for users who primarily use an XMPP or SMS
674 interface and can't be bothered to remember their site
675 password. Note that the security implications of this are
676 pretty serious and have not been thoroughly tested. You
677 should enable it only after you've convinced yourself that
678 it is safe. Default is 'false'.
683 If an installation has only one user, this can simplify a lot of the
684 interface. It also makes the user's profile the root URL.
686 enabled: Whether to run in "single user mode". Default false.
687 nickname: nickname of the single user. If no nickname is specified,
688 the site owner account will be used (if present).
693 We put out a default robots.txt file to guide the processing of
694 Web crawlers. See http://www.robotstxt.org/ for more information
695 on the format of this file.
697 crawldelay: if non-empty, this value is provided as the Crawl-Delay:
698 for the robots.txt file. see http://ur1.ca/l5a0
699 for more information. Default is zero, no explicit delay.
700 disallow: Array of (virtual) directories to disallow. Default is 'main',
701 'search', 'message', 'settings', 'admin'. Ignored when site
702 is private, in which case the entire site ('/') is disallowed.
707 Options for the Twitter-like API.
709 realm: HTTP Basic Auth realm (see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617
710 for details). Some third-party tools like ping.fm want this to be
711 'Identi.ca API', so set it to that if you want to. default = null,
712 meaning 'something based on the site name'.
717 We optionally put 'rel="nofollow"' on some links in some pages. The
718 following configuration settings let you fine-tune how or when things
719 are nofollowed. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow for more
720 information on what 'nofollow' means.
722 subscribers: whether to nofollow links to subscribers on the profile
723 and personal pages. Default is true.
724 members: links to members on the group page. Default true.
725 peopletag: links to people listed in the peopletag page. Default true.
726 external: external links in notices. One of three values: 'sometimes',
727 'always', 'never'. If 'sometimes', then external links are not
728 nofollowed on profile, notice, and favorites page. Default is
734 These are some options for fine-tuning how and when the server will
737 shortener: URL shortening service to use by default. Users can override
738 individually. 'internal' by default.
739 maxurllength: If an URL is strictly longer than this limit, it will be
740 shortened. Note that the URL shortener service may return an
741 URL longer than this limit. Defaults to 100. Users can
742 override. If set to 0, all URLs will be shortened.
743 maxnoticelength: If a notice is strictly longer than this limit, all
744 URLs in the notice will be shortened. Users can override.
745 -1 means the text limit for notices.
750 We use a router class for mapping URLs to code. This section controls
751 how that router works.
753 cache: whether to cache the router in cache layers. Defaults to true,
754 but may be set to false for developers (who might be actively
755 adding pages, so won't want the router cached) or others who see
756 strange behavior. You're unlikely to need this unless developing..
761 Settings for the HTTP client.
763 ssl_cafile: location of the CA file for SSL. If not set, won't verify
764 SSL peers. Default unset.
765 curl: Use cURL <http://curl.haxx.se/> for doing HTTP calls. You must
766 have the PHP curl extension installed for this to work.
767 proxy_host: Host to use for proxying HTTP requests. If unset, doesn't

781 server: Server to find static files for a plugin when the page is plain old HTTP.
782 Defaults to site/server (same as pages). Use this to move plugin CSS and
784 sslserver: Server to find static files for a plugin when the page is HTTPS. Defaults
785 to site/server (same as pages). Use this to move plugin CSS and JS files
787 path: Path to the plugin files. defaults to site/path + '/plugins/'. Expects that
788 each plugin will have a subdirectory at plugins/NameOfPlugin. Change this
789 if you're using a CDN.
790 sslpath: Path to use on the SSL server. Same as plugins/path.
795 high: if you need high performance, or if you're seeing bad
796 performance, set this to true. It will turn off some high-intensity code from
802 enabled: enable certain old-style user settings options, like stream-only mode,
803 conversation trees, and nicknames in streams. Off by default, and
804 may not be well supported in future versions.
